But since the OG Fathercraft babies were in carriers, a few new reputable brands have entered the market, including Colugo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>By the way, if you&#8217;d like to see how Colugo fared against the big guns in this space, check out <a href=\"https:\/\/fathercraft.com\/best-baby-carriers\/\" data-lasso-id=\"2448\">our list of the best baby carriers<\/a>.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We love <a href=\"https:\/\/fathercraft.com\/colugo-stroller-review\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"2449\">Colugo&#8217;s stroller<\/a>. So, when they reached out about their carrier, we were eager to test it out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Colugo is a &#8220;direct to consumer&#8221; company (think Warby Parker, Casper, &amp; Dollar Shave Club) that sell directly to you via their websites, which allows them to pass on savings. It&#8217;s a model that&#8217;s worked well for razors, mattresses, and glasses, and we think it&#8217;s perfect for the baby gear market. Why? Well, baby gear is something you need to try, with your baby, to really know if you&#8217;re going to like it. And, trying it out in the wild (with other kids in tow) is much better than looking at it on a shelf at a big box store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"658\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/fathercraft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Colugo-with-older-child-658x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29848\" style=\"aspect-ratio:4\/3;object-fit:contain\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fathercraft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Colugo-with-older-child-658x1024.jpg 658w, https:\/\/fathercraft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Colugo-with-older-child-386x600.jpg 386w, https:\/\/fathercraft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Colugo-with-older-child-768x1195.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fathercraft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Colugo-with-older-child-600x934.jpg 600w, https:\/\/fathercraft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Colugo-with-older-child.jpg 964w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 658px) 100vw, 658px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Kristan trying out the Colugo again in 2025&#8230; art with the toddler while carrying a baby?

The Colugo was most similar to the Baby Bjorn One from a structure and mechanisms perspective, but included some extra features,  and customizations that made it stand out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-overall-comfort-and-usability\">Overall comfort and usability<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Half the battle with baby carriers is getting them on\u2014yourself and your baby. The Colugo allows you to separate the process of getting yourself in and comfortable and then situating your baby independently. While this does make for some extra straps, we found the process made for an easier time getting the thing (and baby) on, and a more comfortable ride overall. Your baby <em>might just <\/em>fall asleep. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"537\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/fathercraft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Baby-nsp-537x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29851\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fathercraft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Baby-nsp-537x1024.jpg 537w, https:\/\/fathercraft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Baby-nsp-315x600.jpg 315w, https:\/\/fathercraft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Baby-nsp-768x1464.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fathercraft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Baby-nsp-600x1144.jpg 600w, https:\/\/fathercraft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Baby-nsp.jpg 787w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 537px) 100vw, 537px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Fingers crossed for a good nap<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-magnetic-buckles\">Magnetic buckles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/fathercraft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/File-from-iOS.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3889\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Buckles in action<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A big part of putting on a carrier is the process of buckling the baby in. Colugo features magnetic buckles for the two final buckles you&#8217;ll use to put your baby in. They&#8217;re located on the front of the carrier near your armpits, have big pull tabs, and magnets to help you quickly align them when putting your baby in. It&#8217;s a clever and welcome addition to this final step of the baby carrier, which otherwise can require needing to look around a squirming baby to align buckles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s a closeup of the buckle in the closed position:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/fathercraft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Unbuckle-strap.00_00_00_00.Still001-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3842\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fathercraft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Unbuckle-strap.00_00_00_00.Still001-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/fathercraft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Unbuckle-strap.00_00_00_00.Still001-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/fathercraft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Unbuckle-strap.00_00_00_00.Still001-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/fathercraft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Unbuckle-strap.00_00_00_00.Still001-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/fathercraft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Unbuckle-strap.00_00_00_00.Still001-2048x1152.png 2048w, https:\/\/fathercraft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Unbuckle-strap.00_00_00_00.Still001-600x338.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Magnetic buckle detail<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-lightweight-breathable-material\">Lightweight, breathable material<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As we noted in <a rel=\"noopener\" aria-label=\"our Ergobaby 360 review (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/fathercraft.com\/videos\/an-ergobaby-360-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-lasso-id=\"2451\">our Ergobaby 360 review<\/a>, baby carriers can get hot.

A surprisingly small number of carriers include pockets at all, and those that do sometimes include non-functional pockets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Colugo&#8217;s pockets are thoughtfully designed and pretty functional (though as Calvin, our test baby, got bigger, he started to sag over the waist belt pocket, making it harder to reach). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pockets in a carrier are really helpful if you&#8217;re just heading out for a quick jaunt\u2014there&#8217;s no need to wear a backpack and a front pack at the same time, and nobody wants that. The Colugo&#8217;s pockets give you room for a diaper or two, wipes, keys, cell phone, and maybe a food pouch or two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The newest model of the Colugo carrier has a removable pouch that makes life so much easier. Back in 2019, our Colugo carrier made it hard to reach into the waist belt pocket as Calvin got bigger, but with the removable pouch, that wouldn&#8217;t be an issue anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/fathercraft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/colugo-carrier-on-stool-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3846\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fathercraft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/colugo-carrier-on-stool-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fathercraft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/colugo-carrier-on-stool-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fathercraft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/colugo-carrier-on-stool-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fathercraft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/colugo-carrier-on-stool-1536x865.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/fathercraft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/colugo-carrier-on-stool-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/fathercraft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/colugo-carrier-on-stool.jpg 1598w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-machine-washable\">Machine washable<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Colugo carrier (along with nearly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kqzyfj.com\/click-8913155-15866843?sid=websitervw&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fcolugo.com%2Fproducts%2Fthe-carrier\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"2452\" data-lasso-name=\"Kqzyfj\">all Colugo products<\/a>) is machine washable.
